VR training for training providers and centres

A practical workshop is expensive, wears out, and never quite reproduces the pace of the real thing. 360° video gives your learners a credible practical scenario from the first hour, without tying up equipment or a partner site.

Practical workshops no longer cover it

Practical application remains the weak point of many programmes. It comes late, it costs a lot to organise, and it cannot be repeated as often as building a reflex actually requires.

Today

What limits your programmes

  • Practical scenarios depend on workshop or partner company availability.
  • A learner cannot repeat the same critical gesture ten times over.
  • Assessment rests largely on trainer observation, therefore on trainer time.
  • High risk situations cannot be reproduced safely.
  • Remote delivery loses credibility as soon as hands-on skills are involved.
  • Two groups with two trainers are not assessed the same way.
With Soriston

What you add to the programme

  • Practical scenarios become available at any time, with no booking.
  • Repetition is unlimited, so the reflex genuinely takes hold.
  • Assessment draws on decision data, not observation alone.
  • Dangerous situations are played out at zero real risk.
  • Remote delivery gains a real practical component.
  • Every group is assessed against the same grid, whoever teaches it.
Scenarios

Three ways to use Soriston in a centre

The format slots in before, during or after a conventional teaching sequence.

Before the session

The learner meets the situation alone. They arrive with concrete questions and a mistake already made, therefore remembered.

During the session

The trainer projects the scene, pauses on a decision and lets the group argue before revealing the consequence.

For assessment

The session becomes a graded practical: decisions, critical errors, autonomy and first attempt success.

For catch up

A struggling learner replays as often as needed, without tying up the workshop or a trainer.

For entry positioning

A short session reveals the actual starting level, which a self-declared questionnaire never does.

For mock certification

The learner goes through the situations expected at the exam, under matching time conditions.

On the ground

What it changes for your organisation

Beyond teaching, the format bears on three things every provider watches closely: commercial differentiation, quality evidence and production cost.

  • A concrete differentiator against providers still offering classroom only delivery.
  • Objective assessment evidence, useful in a quality process.
  • Delivery that works remotely without losing the practical dimension.
  • A cost per learner that falls with volume, unlike a physical workshop.
  • The option to offer your own modules to your corporate clients.

Immersive practice and objective assessment carry weight in training procurement responses.

It is far more concrete than what we used to do. Teams get it straight away.

FAQ

Questions from training providers

Yes. The learner opens the module from home on mobile or desktop, and the trainer receives the results. It is one of the few ways to bring genuine practical work into a remote programme.

Yes. Each session produces a breakdown of decisions, critical errors, use of help and first attempt success. Those elements slot into an assessment grid and can be kept as evidence.

Yes. We film your workshops or your partner companies’ sites and write the scenarios from your standards. You then own content that is specific to you.

None are mandatory. Many centres start on tablet or desktop. For headset use, two to four devices generally cover a group of twelve on rotation.

The platform produces activity and assessment records that hold up in an audit. It does not replace your quality system, it feeds the indicators covering teaching resources and evidence of learning.
